Brooke's 6 Month Photo Shoot

Matt and I decided to go all out for Brooke's 6 month photo shoot. We hired the same photographer for our wedding to come to our house and take the pictures. I'm going to post ALOT of them because there were so many good ones. I made them smaller so they would fit in the post, but just click on the picture to see it a little bigger.

My favorite one is the one with all of us. Also, the picture of Brooke in the white dress is special too. Brooke's great great grandmother made the dress, and both my mom and myself wore it in our 6 month pictures and now Brooke has also wore it in her 6 month pictures. Very Cool! Enjoy!

Spring Flower

Here is a picture of Brooke in her Easter dress looking like a spring flower!

The Cute Easter Bunny!

Well.. as we all know the Easter Bunny in my previous post was a little creepy.. But this one is adorable!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all that celebrate the holiday. I took Brooke to see the Easter Bunny this week. The Easter Bunny is kinda creepy.. very different then Santa! I placed Brooke on his lap before I think she saw him, so she didn't realize who was holding her during the picture. After the picture I turned her around so she could see him. She didn't cry but she didn't seem happy, and when he reached out to touch her hand she immediately pulled it away.

It's a cute picture anyways, but we will probably not go see the Easter Bunny next year!

Matt, Brooke and I are going to our friend Alison's parent's house tomorrow. They celebrate a Greek Easter with Lamb and Spinach Pie. Sounds yummy to me!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We will be having corned beef and cabbage tonight to celebrate! Here is a picture of Brooke all ready to celebrate!

Ski Cooper!

Every year for Christmas Matt's dad and step-mom give us a ski trip to SkiCooper and a few nights in Leadville. Here are a few pictures from this weekend, which had fabulous skiing/boarding this weekend!

Here is a picture of Brooke in her new Sweatshirt that her grandpa Dave bought her.

Here is a picture of Brooke computing with her daddy in the hotel room. She gets so excited to type at the computer! I guess she is her dad's daughter after all!

Berkley Soccer Assistant Coach

Uncle Cliff is the Varsity Soccer coach at Berkley High School for both the girls team and the boys team. Berkley High School is where I went to High School if you didn't know. Cliff's girlfriend Emily made Brooke a sweatshirt. On the front it says "Berkley Soccer Assistant Coach" and on the back it says "Sturtz". Here are a few pictures of Uncle Cliff and Brooke wearing their Berkley Soccer matching Coach clothes.

Skiing with Uncle Cliff

Uncle Cliff is here visiting for a week and we went snowboarding/skiing today. I'm not sure Brooke enjoys coming on these adventures and hanging out in the lodge, but she tolerates it.

Here is a picture of Cliff and Brooke at Mary Jane lodge.

Here is a picture of Brooke passed out after a long day of skiing! hehehe.. not really. Cliff put the whiskey shooter in her hand after she was asleep.

Brooke's New High Chair

Brooke is now big enough for her high chair, plus we started some real food last week. So far she has had sweet potatoes and carrots. She loves to play in the high chair while I'm in the kitchen cooking or we are eating too! I think she likes being up higher, and we just give her some toys to play with! She loves it! Thanks Amy and Joe! (They are the ones who gave us the highchair)
